If your conscience troubles you… you may have options

In recent years, we have gotten calls on the GI Rights Hotline from service members concerned about having to police the US-Mexican border and/or police demostrations in the US. Others feel disturbed by US support for specific overseas operations, like Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Many call us with a troubled conscience, and some ask about applying for a conscientious objection (CO) discharge. Military regulations spell out very specific criteria for military members to qualify as a conscientious objector. Keep reading to see if a CO discharge may be appropriate for you. Even if you don’t meet the definition of a conscientious objector, you may still qualify for a different discharge. You can call us on the hotline to discuss your options: 877-447-4487.

Former Rockford Illinois National Guard Armory

This isn’t far from where I grew up. I couldn’t find any videos of it, on YouTube while it was still functional. I found it interesting that concerts were held there. One of the many bands that performed there, Cheap Trick, was founded in Rockford, Illinois. I went to high school with one of their stepsisters. I just found out that I currently live where one of the band members was born.
